Video Quality Report — Vcr Direct Capture Comparisons

10 analog video captures — normalized to common brightness & saturation — evaluated on 9 no-reference quality metrics.

Metric Guide

Sharpness higher
Laplacian variance — blur vs. sharpness

Edge Strength higher
Sobel gradient — edge definition

Blocking ~1.0
8x8 DCT boundary ratio

Detail higher
Local variance — micro-detail

Texture Q higher
Structure/noise ratio — detail quality

Ringing lower
Edge overshoot / haloing — retained despite high sharpness correlation; reflects a distinct analog artifact (VCR sharpness circuits, aperture correction) that varies independently across hardware

Temporal lower
Frame-to-frame diff — flicker

Colorfulness higher
Hasler-Süsstrunk — color vibrancy

Naturalness higher
MSCN kurtosis — natural signal statistics

Overall Composite Ranking

Average rank across all 9 metrics (1 = best per metric). Lower average rank = better overall quality.
